Lo!THE POOR INDIAN.

Not so Poor as he il Pictured, But a Race
as Numerous, Prosperous and Rich rs
Ever.
Talking about the Indians" said q
well informed gentleman yesterday.
''in my opinion the idea that they are
or ever have been decreasing in num-
bers on the American continent is =
mistake. This talk about them van
lshing from the face Of the esrth-car-
ried off by slow decay or the white
mans weapons wasting away-all
that kind of sentimental nonsense is
not borne out by the facts. / believe
there are rs many Indians to-day as
ever there were. In the first place
they have followed the same course Of
migration as have the whites. The
tribes originally found on the Atlantic
coast and along the great lakes, as
they were interfered with by the
whites and found themselves over
powered by superior force, their game
supply diminishing and their corn
fields invaded migrated westward to
the wilderness. They practically
lived upon game and wild fruits, and
as natural consequence the Indian
population must have been small.
That the eastern Indians migrated
westward is sbundantly proved by
history and by present instances.
Among tribes in Montana or settled
at intervals throughout the territory
you can find Indians from all overthe
country. And the tribes have mi
grated bodily. The Sioux never bad
home in either Dakota or Montana
until comparatively late years, aud
the Crows had their headquarters
much farther south. The Snakes are,
without doubt the original Comancbes
and the Blackfeet are strangers In this
territory. When Lewis aud Clark
came through here they evidently
saw very few Indians. The plains
could not have supported any large
number OF Indians before they OBJ
tanned horses and firearms, and that
was, as you may say, quite lately. 1
AIN sure there are more Indians In
MoLtsna to-day than ever there wss
at any time previous, and 1 have little
doubt that the remark applies 90 the
whole country. All this talk about
the Indian race is dying out is nom
sense. The race is increasing rather
than otherwise. They have always
had the best Of IL on the frontier.
There was never time in Montana,
in pioneer days, when the Indians
could not make more money at hunt
ing and trapping than the average
white man, aud il has been 50 along
the frontier from ocean 10 ocean. The
Indians to-day are the richest people
In the west, in -pite Of all the breath
that is wasted over bewailiDg their un-
fortunate lot.-Independent.

Preparing for Their Debut

Chicago Telegram: Preparations are
already being made for the great anti
anarchist drama Of the llth of Novem-
Der. Already orders have been given
ii is said to-day, TO members Of the
Second Illinois national guard that
they will be required to be on duty for
full week, perhaps longer, prior to
November llth at their Rrmory and
wherever else their services may be-
required. The sheriff has already de-
cided to limit the number OF those
present to those that the law requires
TO be present and to representatives, Of
the press. The gloom which has
marked the doomed men with one ex-
ception for several DAYS past continues
to deepen. The exception il that OF
Parsons, who still indulges IN his
chronic good spirits and laughs and
jokes with those who call upou him.
On the morning OF the day curing
which there shall be a probability Of
the United States supreme courts de-
oision arriving In the city, probably
Thursday morning, the guard upon
the condemned will be doubled OF
perhaps trebled and the freedom they
have hitherto enjoyed will be mater
tally curtailed. No one will be al
lowed to visit them at all. This latter
precsution will be taken TO avoid the
possibility OF any one furnishing the
prisoners with poison or any other
means OF suicide.

A FATAL DELUSION.
A Man, Haunted by His Wife's Spirit, Com
mits Suicide.

New York World.
Charles L. Beecher. who committed s1icide
Yesterday, is now believed by many to have been
driven to death by a belief that he was haunted
by the ghost of his wife. The fact that he took
so much pains in preparing for his death is
thought to indicate that his mind had given
way. He first shot his pet dog and then took
aim through the medium of hand mirror and
put a bullet through his head. He had previous
ly told his neighoors that he was haunted by
the spirit of his wife, who died about three
months ago He said that her figure appeared
to him on the wall of mis- room very often. The
vision always seemed to be carrying babe in
j is arms, and this, he said was the figure of an
infant that his wife had lost. Confederation of
the ghost story was given by sixteen-year-old
girl named Collar, who lives in the adjoining
house This girl went into Beecher's house one
evening at his invitation to see the ghost. Miss
Collar saws that a figure like shadow did APP
pear on tho wall Carrying babe in its arms
Beecher sat in his chair and pointed to the ap-
partition exclaiming; There she is! there's my
wife, Miss Collar says that she ran up to the
wall and slapped the vision, but when she did so
it moved off to another portion of the wall, and
when she repeated the slapping operation the
same thing took place. Beecher has been
moving things out of the house of late. Some
saw he did not treat his wife we'll towards the
end of her life When she died of the
neichbors went to Medical Examiner White and
told him that the case would bear investigation,
but nothing ever came of 1t.

There is steady line trade in teas, with no
change in prices. 1t is stated that the new
crop of Japans and Formosas will be later this
year than last season. The produce markets
are active and prices unchanged, except for
strawberries. which are becoming more plenty
and selling as low as 81 per case. Eggs poultry
and butter arriving quite freely, and prices
easy, but unchanged. The grain markets are
taking better shape, and with this more conf
dence in all branches of trade is noticeable
Statistics show that 125, coo, 900 bushels of wheat
have been exported this season, which is all the
surplus about which there was any anxiety last
fall, and what is exported hereafter must be
depletion of the stock carried over last year
Business men generally look upon the situation
as being very promising, unless some unfore-
troubles come over the country through
strikes or complications Of such a character.
The local market retains the strong tone OF
some days past Arrivals are still light. For
shipment there is no demand while for local
consumption the arrivals are not sufficient to
fill the request. Corn is active and shade
higher; receipts meager. Some inquiry for ship
ping stuff which is to arrive early. Futures
sluggish. Oats in good demand and scarce,
